About Me

In our work together, I offer a culturally sensitive space, grounded in clinical insight, and guided by professional training and lived experience. Healing isn't linear—but with the right support, it is absolutely possible.
I am a first-generation Latina and the daughter of immigrant parents. I am based in Riverside, CA, where I offer virtual support to people from the comfort of their homes.
I am especially passionate about supporting women of color, first-gen professionals, and those seeking to break cycles while honoring where they come from.
My work is also deeply shaped by my personal journey with chronic pain. I experienced my first migraine at the age of 13, which marked the beginning of my own mind-body healing process. Living with chronic pain has taught me the importance of listening to the body, honoring emotional truth, and approaching healing with compassion and curiosity.

Education
I graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a B.S. in Psychology and Biology and from the University of Southern California with a Master's in Social Work. I have worked in residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient centers for eating disorders and medical facilities with those who struggled with organ failures and chronic illnesses.
Specializations
I am specialized in chronic pain and disordered eating/eating disorders, and I will be committed to helping people build healthier relationships with their bodies. I also work with general life stressors, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My work focuses on recognizing and targeting the mind-body connection, behaviors, habits, and associated fears. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals.
